Transforming an unused space into a backyard paradise for a Bocce Ball and Shuffleboard Court.  At Gappsi, we take pride in transforming underutilized and challenging spaces into functional, beautiful outdoor retreats. Our most recent project in Melville, NY, is a prime example of how innovative design and expert craftsmanship can transform even the most challenging terrain into a recreational haven. In this case, we transformed a sloped, unused portion of a backyard into a state-of-the-art sports game court area, featuring a custom bocce ball court and a premium shuffleboard court.

The Vision: Making Use of Challenging Terrain

The homeowners had a large section of their backyard that was significantly sloped and essentially unused. Rather than letting the space go to waste, they approached us with the idea of turning it into a multi-use recreational area. Our team took on the challenge.  We set out to design and construct a bocce ball and shuffleboard court that would not only look great but also stand the test of time.

Site Preparation and Leveling for Bocce Ball and Shuffleboard Court1-bocce-court-and-shuffle-sport-game-courts-melville-ny

One of the first and most crucial steps in this project involved leveling the sloped terrain. Before any courts could be installed, we had to create a flat, stable foundation that would support the structure and ensure longevity and usability. To accomplish this, we built a strong retaining wall using railroad tiles. These heavy-duty, aesthetically pleasing wooden ties helped reinforce the outer perimeter while also supporting the newly leveled land within.

The retaining wall played a dual role: it created a boundary for the courts. It provided the necessary structural integrity to the area, making it safe and durable for years to come.

Bocce Ball Court Construction: Precision and Style

The bocce ball court is a masterpiece of both form and function. We constructed it using synthetic walls, which offer several advantages over traditional wooden or metallic materials. One significant benefit is that there are no exposed screws, resulting in a sleek, seamless appearance for the court. More importantly, the materials used are designed to be highly durable, ensuring that the court will not wear out over time or fade in color due to sun exposure or weather.

Polymeric Sand Installation

The playing surface is made from a high-quality synthetic turf imported directly from Italy. We chose this specific turf not only for its durability and realistic feel but also because it is explicitly designed for bocce play. The turf is topped with a green infill, and we added clean white striping to define the court lines, enhancing both playability and visual appeal.

Shuffleboard Court Construction: Eco-Friendly and Elegant

Adjacent to the bocce court is a professionally installed shuffleboard court, providing another recreational option for homeowners and their guests. Unlike the bocce court, which uses a synthetic turf surface, the shuffleboard court is built on a recycled concrete base. This eco-friendly choice reflects our commitment to sustainable construction practices whenever possible.

Bocce ball sports game courtTo provide a professional-grade playing experience, we installed Mateflex tiles over the concrete base. These interlocking modular tiles are known for their resilience, low maintenance, and ability to provide consistent ball glide and bounce. Their modular nature also makes them easier to maintain or replace over time, without the need to overhaul the entire surface.

Surrounding the shuffleboard court is a border of lush synthetic turf, also imported from Italy. This turf features a 1¼-inch pile height, giving it a luxurious, natural look and feel. Not only does it add a visual buffer around the court, but it also enhances safety and comfort for players and spectators alike.

Materials That Make a Difference

Every material used in this project was carefully selected to ensure the courts remain functional, attractive, and low-maintenance over time. Here’s a closer look at the premium materials and their benefits:

  • Synthetic Walls for Bocce Ball Court: These offer durability without deterioration. Since there are no exposed fasteners, the court maintains a clean, polished appearance.
  • Italian Imported Turf for Bocce Court: Specifically designed for bocce, this turf provides excellent ball rolland weather resistance, maintaining its color and texture for years.
  • Green Infill and White Striping: Enhances playability while giving the court a professional appearance.
  • Recycled Concrete Base for Shuffleboard Court: An environmentally conscious choice that also provides a solid and level foundation.
  • Mateflex Tiles: Engineered for sports use, these tiles offer excellent performance with minimal upkeep.
  • 1¼-Inch Italian Synthetic Turf Surround: Combines beauty and function, creating a soft, realistic look that complements the courts and provides comfort underfoot.

Traditional Pavilion with Passion Spa Built in Commack NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of the Traditional Pavilion with Passion Spa Built in Commack, NY

View our latest traditional pavilion with Passion Spa, built on the unused sloped backyard of this home in Commack, New York.

Unused sloped backyard areas can be transformed into usable spaces by incorporating terraced gardens, retaining walls, rock gardens, or even dedicated planting zones that utilize the slope for varied plant life. This will manage potential erosion issues and create distinct levels within the yard, turning a challenging slope into a visually appealing and functional outdoor space.

This recent project, designed and built by Gappsi in Commack, N.Y., involved using the unused sloped backyard area and making it very useful.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny4Considerations when designing for a sloped backyard:

  • Slope Severity:  The degree of slope will determine the type of structures needed, with steeper slopes requiring more substantial retaining walls.
  • Drainage: Ensure proper drainage to prevent water accumulation and erosion, especially in areas with heavy rainfall.
  • Sunlight Exposure: Consider how the slope affects sunlight exposure when choosing plants for different areas.

We built a multi-level retaining wall using the Nicolock Granite City Firma wall. The first level creates a flat area for the 18×36 traditional pavilion with the Roman pattern G045 natural blue-gray limestone patio floor from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection.

Gappsi built the traditional pavilion with Passion Spa. Adding a conventional pavilion to your backyard provides a dedicated, covered outdoor space that protects you from the elements while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your yard. It allows for comfortable outdoor living, entertaining guests, and potentially increasing your home’s value. It creates a functional and stylish area to relax and enjoy the outdoors, rain or shine.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny

Key benefits of a backyard traditional pavilion:

  1. Shelter from weather: Protects from sun, rain, and wind, allowing you to use your outdoor space even during inclement weather.
  2. Elevated aesthetic: Adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your backyard design.
  3. Multipurpose space: This can be used for dining, lounging, gathering with guests, or even a casual outdoor living room.
  4. Increased outdoor living: Encourages more time spent outdoors by offering a comfortable, protected area.
  5. Potential home value increase: A well-designed pavilion can add to the perceived value of your property.
  6. Customization options: Can be designed and built to match your style and needs, including size, materials, and features.

Second and Third Level Retaining Walls

A second retaining wall was built to retain the slope and the ground behind it.  Tiered retaining walls comprise two or more walls, each higher wall set back horizontally from the underlying wall. When appropriately designed, they retain soil and support loads, deliver an attractive appearance, and provide room for plantings.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny13 Hole Putting Green

Our team installed and built a three-hole putting green on the patio.  A 3-hole putting green in your backyard offers several benefits, including improved golf skills through dedicated practice space, low maintenance with artificial turf, increased property value, fun for family and friends, mental stimulation through strategic putting, and the ability to customize the difficulty level of each hole; allowing you to focus on specific aspects of your putting game depending on the design of each hole.

With a 3-hole design, you can create diverse putting challenges by varying the length, slope, and green contours on each hole to target specific putting weaknesses.

Important considerations:

  1. Space Requirements: Ensure you have enough yard space to accommodate a 3-hole putting green with appropriate distances and design elements.
  2. Installation Costs: Factor in the cost of materials, installation, and potential landscaping needed for your putting green.
  3. Maintenance Routine: While low maintenance, artificial turf requires occasional brushing and cleaning to maintain optimal putting conditions.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny2Passion Spa – Gappsi is an Authorized Dealer for Passion Spas

Under the traditional Pavillion, we installed a Passion spa.  A Passion Spa in your backyard offers numerous benefits, including stress relief, pain management, improved sleep, enhanced muscle relaxation, increased blood circulation, social interaction, boosted mood, potential for light exercise through swim features, and a luxurious outdoor retreat thanks to its designed massage jets and water purification system, all while providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing addition to your outdoor space; essentially creating a personal oasis for relaxation and wellness at home.

Custom Traditional Pavilion with Passion Spa Designed and Built By Gappsi

The 18 x 36 pavilion was built with a bare wood ceiling stained mahogany.  An audio system and electrical heating system were also installed so that people could enjoy year-round entertainment.  Behind the TV wall, we created an area with a door in the back for additional storage.  The wall was veneered with silver travertine tumbled, and the TV was hung on the wall.

Steps on both sides of the patio access the pavilion area, also used as a ping-pong area. This is the latest masonry-designed sports court and pavilion incorporated into an entire abandoned area. It became the most helpful part of the backyard. It is the newest project built by Gappsi in Commack, NY.

Rooftop Putting Green Installation, Long Beach NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Rooftop Putting Green Installation, Long Beach, NY

Green grass can be seen from the highest building with our rooftop putting green installation! Gappsi Turf Solutions offers an innovative design that enables rooftop gardens where grass is challenging to grow. With a year-round, well-cared-for look, Gappsi Synthetic Turf Solutions for rooftops resembles natural grass in its best condition.

Turn your unused rooftop into a beautiful space where residents, employees, or students can relax or practice their golf game. Perfect for urban rooftops where outdoor space is an issue, Gappsi Synthetic Turf Solutions will beautify any rooftop to turn it into valuable, usable space.

View Our Synthetic Turf & Sports Game Court Gallery For More Ideas

Gappsi’s artificial grass for rooftops has been installed in playgrounds, urban residential building rooftops, recreational areas, and more. The lightweight synthetic grass is the perfect maintenance-free solution for rooftop areas.

Are you craving a unique outdoor sanctuary, perhaps a place to relax and practice golf while enjoying a fantastic view away from the hustle and bustle? Converting your rooftop to a putting green with artificial turf could be your perfect solution.

It can be a serene retreat and a visually stunning addition to your complex if done right!

1. Plan For Safety – First and foremost, ensure your rooftop can bear the additional weight of your golf haven. Seek professional help to assess the structural integrity. Once confirmed, design the putting green cautiously to ensure proper safety measures. This could include installing barriers or railings for accident prevention.

2. Utilize Space Wisely—Rooftop spaces can vary significantly in size. Strategic use of available space is crucial regardless of your rooftop’s dimensions. If space is tight, try a minimalist approach, focusing on one or two golf holes and a small seating area. If the location allows, consider a larger green or incorporate a few obstacles for added challenge.

3. Consider Drainage—Good drainage is essential to keeping your rooftop green in top shape. Ensure the base below the artificial turf is designed for efficient drainage. Using turf that allows rapid permeability will prevent waterlogging and increase the lifespan of your green.

4. Choose High-Quality Artificial Turf – Quality matters, especially regarding the artificial turf you install. Opt for top-quality artificial greens replicating the feel of real grass golf greens. They’ll provide the ball roll accuracy and durability that a golf enthusiast appreciates.  The quality of the artificial turf you choose heavily influences the green’s playability and durability. Opt for top-quality, low-maintenance artificial grass. It might cost more initially, but it will save time, effort, and long-term satisfaction.

Lightweight, Maintenance Free Synthetic Turf for Rooftops

More and more commercial and residential organizations are installing rooftop greens to add an aesthetically pleasing and recreational element to their properties. Additional rooftop areas may include plain synthetic turf to cover weathered or visibly undesirable surfaces, improving views that overlook the rooftop area.

The benefits of having a rooftop putting green installed by Gappsi, Inc.
  • Natural appearance & feel
  • All weather use
  • Custom-fit to any size or shape rooftop
  • Cleaner, more professional-looking appearance
  • Adds value to the building/property.
  • Adds recreational attraction to building/property
  • Turns unused square footage into a functional attraction
  • Extremely low maintenance

roof-top-putting-green-installation-long-beach-ny3Rooftop Putting Green Installation, Long Beach, N.Y.

Gappsi recently designed and installed a rooftop putting green in Long Beach, Long Island. The first step is spreading the bluestone gravel, which is applied on top of the Merafi paper. Next, we will install the synthetic turf fringe. Synthetic turf fringe is a section of artificial grass that connects a putting green to the fairway and is also known as the “apron” or “collar.”

Why Do You Need Synthetic Turf Fringe

  • Purpose: It connects the green to the fairway, prevents the ball from rolling off, and provides stability and protection to the putting green.
  • Height – Usually 1–2 inches tall, but is customizable.
  • Width—This can vary depending on the space, but it can be as narrow as 6 inches or several feet wide.
  • Installation – It should be cut perfectly to blend seamlessly with the putting green.
  • Benefits – Durable, weather-resistant, and can create a realistic play experience.

The rooftop putting green installation in Long Beach, N.Y., was completed on the second floor over a parking garage. We added flower beds to accent the putting green curves.  Creating an impressive landscape around your synthetic putting green is an excellent way to enhance your outdoor space’s aesthetic appeal. Surrounding your putting green with various plantings is a classic landscaping idea.  Choose low-growing perennial flowers, ornamental grasses, or ground covers to create a beautiful and natural-looking boundary that visually separates your green from the rest of your space.

roof-top-putting-green-installation-long-beach-ny2The putting green has a very beautiful undulation. Although it is difficult to see from the images posted, bumps and gullies have been added to create a golf course feel.

We installed the putting green grass and the Gappsi Dreamy 35 (1.5 Pile Height) for the fringe. This project was done for Engel Burman, an apartment complex on Long Beach’s water. We installed five cups and flags and outlined the flower beds with aluminum metal edging. This is the latest sports game court installation completed in Long Beach, NY.

Kiddie Pool Turned Splash Pad

Gappsi recently redesigned a kiddie pool area at the Engineers Country Club in Roslyn Harbor, NY.  We removed the old kiddie pool and replaced it with a new, fun, and exciting splash pad for the kids.  The universal design project offers form and function that are inherently accessible to everyone without modifying the items to be accessible.

The New Water Playground – Splash Pads

Splash pads, or water playgrounds, can be a fun and safe pool alternative. They can be built more quickly than pools, and they offer many benefits, including:

  • Accessibility – Splash pads are accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Their level surfaces and sensory aspects can make them fun for children and families with disabilities.
  • Safety – Splash pads are safer than pools because they have little or no standing water. As a result, there is no risk of drowning. Motion sensors often trigger the nozzles that spray water, and the decks are usually textured or surfaced with non-slip materials.
  • Cost – Water playgrounds can fit most communities’ budgets because they have lower capital costs. They also reduce maintenance requirements more than pools and require less support infrastructure, like changing rooms and admission gates.
  • Water – Water playgrounds can be flexible about water use and can even recycle water back into the spray mechanism to conserve water.
  • Design – Splash pads can offer various design features, and you can easily change the spray features to appeal to the area or time of year.
  • Socialization – Splash pads can bring communities together and provide a fun, interactive space for socialization.

custom-splash-pad-water-playground-new-product-at-gappsi-long-island-ny3Does a Splash Pad Need a Pump

Some splash pads use pumps, while others can use water pressure from a garden hose.  Most splash pads use low-flow recirculating pumps to provide a continuous water supply. The pumps fill an underground storage tank with water, which is filtered and disinfected before being sprayed onto the play area. The water then drains back into the tank to be reused. This system is good for larger splash pads or regions where water conservation is essential.

The other option is a flow-through system.  These systems use the same water pressure as your tap to power the water features.  The water drains into the municipal sewer system. Flow-through systems have low up-front costs because they don’t require pumps, filters, or other equipment, but ongoing costs are associated with using fresh water.  Some backyard splash pad kits can use water pressure from a garden hose, which can reduce maintenance, too.

The new splash pad at Engineers Country Club used the flow-through system without a pump, which made more sense. Without pumps, you do not need electricity or mechanical parts.  The water is fed just the water pressure from the water line.  

The water is used and sent to a drain. It was calculated that using the water without filtering or adding chemicals and chlorine to maintain the water system was cheaper. In addition to the cost savings by not using a pump, permits were not required, and no additional plumbing was needed.

We built this very functional splash pad for the club simultaneously with the gunite pool. Kids love it; it is like a miniature water park. For the floor, we used rubberized material mixed with resin, which makes it very hard but soft to walk on.

custom-splash-pad-water-playground-new-product-at-gappsi-long-island-ny1Synthetic Turf For Splash Pad Area

Gappsi installed all synthetic turf surrounding the splash pad. Artificial turf can be a good choice for areas near splash pads because it can be safer, more durable, and lower maintenance than natural grass:

  • Safety – Synthetic turf is slip-resistant and cushioned for bare feet, helping reduce the risk of injury. It is also universally accessible, allowing wheelchairs and other mobility devices to roll easily.
  • Durability – Synthetic turf lasts for years and requires little maintenance. Unlike natural grass, it can be laid in any shape or design and is not susceptible to design challenges.
  • Drainage – Synthetic turf is engineered to be free-draining, so it can dry quickly without becoming muddy or slippery. This allows the surface to be used sooner than natural grass.
  • Pests – Synthetic turf can create a pest-free environment, which is safer to walk on and reduces the risk of summer bugs.

It is a lovely and functional miniature water park.  The system goes in a circle and then shuts down. Then, the kids can just hit the button, which will go through another cycle. This is the latest miniature water park by Gappsi for the kids to enjoy. I am sure even grown-ups will come and make use of this. This is the newest park water feature built by Gappsi in Roslyn, NY.

gappsi-showroom-and-productsArtificial Living Walls & Vertical Gardens for Indoor or Outdoor Environments

On the entrance side of the showroom, we installed green synthetic living walls and displayed our synthetic turf options. Artificial plant walls are the perfect addition to any design, regardless of project size or location.  Artificial plant walls transcend the need for light and water and are the ideal solution for greening spaces where plants cannot grow. Whether you’re planning to green up an empty wall in your backyard or you’re designing a large-scale commercial project, our hyper-realistic green wall panel system will enrich your design. Gappsi encourages your imagination to create remarkable living and working spaces with our vibrant faux plant walls.

Synthetic Turf and Artificial Greens

Our synthetic turf is perfect for sports game courts, including pickleball, soccer fields, tennis courts, putting greens, and pet grass.  Our pet grass selection is specifically designed for animals.  Your pets are part of the family but they’re also animals with destructive instincts. When you let your dogs play and go to the bathroom on real, carefully manicured grass, it doesn’t take long for them to fill your yard with holes, odors, clumps of grass, piles of dirt, and other telltale signs that animals own the place. Artificial pet turf is a low-maintenance alternative to natural grass. You and your pets will love it because it’s pet-friendly fake turf that your pets won’t be able to distinguish from real grass. The best part? It’s easy to clean.

gappsi-showroom-and-products3Sports Game Courts with Synthetic Turf

A turf court in your backyard or your school campus provides an enjoyable and safe surface for a wide range of sports.  From tennis to bocce ball, turf courts are becoming increasingly popular due to their low maintenance and high performance. When compared to natural grass surfaces, artificial turf is considerably safer and more reliable.

If you operate a sports complex or if you have kids who constantly want to practice sports at home, you know the challenges with maintenance for natural grass. Wearing out grass through frequent athletic practice can ruin your yard at home. For sports facilities that rely on full fields for weekend tournaments, having worn spots from weekday practices can disappoint the players and parents on the weekend.

That’s where artificial sports turf from Gappsi enters the picture. Our fields are durable, great value, and perfectly designed.  The artificial turf comes in various colors to offer the look and feel you want to achieve.  Never worry about overuse leading to bare spots and dead grass. Never cancel tournaments because of heavy overnight rains again. Whether you need an indoor or outdoor athletic field or turf, the quality of our synthetic turf options can make each team feel like it is playing professional sports. Let the constant practices and games commence!

Sports Game Courts

In front of the showroom, we displayed a miniature bocce ballcourt. Our bocce sports game courts are built with synthetic wood that will not warp.  Using synthetic wood sides, there are no exposed nails and no maintenance. In addition, the synthetic turf used is made specifically for bocce ball courts.

Come down to view our Dominator basketball sports game court with a double horn lights setup.  On display are the Metaflex tiles used for outdoor or indoor sports game court flooring.  Mateflex is a modular sports game court flooring company that makes tiles designed for durability and performance. Mateflex tiles are intended to combine the comfort of a soft court with the durability of a hard court.  Gappsi is an authorized dealer of Mateflex Sports Tiles.  They are the premier manufacturer of basketball court flooring, volleyball court surfaces, tennis court resurfacing options, and other courts for sports.

On one side we displayed adjustable netting used for multiple sports. The netting can be adjusted for pickleball, badminton, tennis, or volleyball.  We even have batting cages!  Check out our cages that use specific netting and fake grass.
